23And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
24Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
25Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
26For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
27And the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
28And the Lord rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.

15¶ But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
21They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
24They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
25The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
26I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
27Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.
28For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?
31For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
37And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.

17They sacrificed vnto deuils, ‖not to God: to gods whom they knew not, to new gods, that came newly vp, whom your fathers feared not.
18Of the Rocke that begate thee thou art vnmindfull, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19And when the LORD saw it, he ‖abhorred them, because of the prouoking of his sonnes, & of his daughters.
20And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their ende shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
21They haue mooued me to ielousie with that which is not god, they haue prouoked me to anger with their vanities: And *I will moue them to ielousie with those which are not a people, I will prouoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22For a fire is kindled in my anger, and ‖shall burne vnto the lowest hell, and ‖shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountaines.
23I will heape mischiefes vpon them, I will spend mine arrowes vpon them.

25The sword without, and terrour †within shall †destroy both the yong man, and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray haires.
26I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease frō among men:
27Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemie, lest their aduersaries should behaue themselues strangely, and lest they should say, ‖Our hande is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.
28For they are a nation voide of counsel, neither is there any vnderstanding in them.
29O that they were wise, that they vnderstood this, that they would consider their latter end.
30How should *one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rocke had sold them, and the LORD had shut them vp?
31For their rocke is not as our Rocke, euen our enemies themselues being iudges.
32For their vine is ‖of the vine of Sodome, and of the fields of Gomorah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter.

35To me belongeth *vengeance, and recompence, their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamitie is at hand, and the things that shal come vpon them, make haste.

8And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the Lord hath spoken it.
9¶ Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
10Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
11Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord.
1¶ For behold, in those dayes and in that time, when I shall bring againe the captiuitie of Iudah and Ierusalem,
2I wil also gather all nations, and will bring them downe into the valley of Iehoshaphat, and wil plead with them there for my people, and for my heritage Israel, whom they haue scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
3And they haue cast lots for my people, and haue giuen a boy for a harlot, and solde a girle for wine, that they might drinke.
4Yea and what haue ye to do with me, O Tyre and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render mee a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I returne your recompense vpon your owne head.
5†Because yee haue taken my siluer and my gold, and haue caried into your temples my goodly pleasant things.
6†The children also of Iudah and the children of Ierusalem haue ye sold vnto the Grecians, that yee might remoue them farre from their border.
7Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither yee haue sold them, and wil returne your recompence vpon your owne head.

9¶ †Proclaime ye this among the gentiles: prepare warre, wake vp the mightie men, let all the men of warre draw neere, let them come vp.
10*‖Beate your plowe shares into swords, and your pruning hookes into speares, let the weake say, I am strong.
11‖Assemble your selues, and come all ye heathen, and gather your selues together round about: thither cause thy mightie ones to come downe, O LORD.
